Summary

Symptoms
Installation of Operations Manager 2007 reporting fails with the error message “The specified domain does not exist or cannot be contacted” in the setup log file found in the Temp folder on the computer on which you are installing Operations Manager 2007 reporting.

Installation
This hotfix must be applied to each computer that meets any of the following criteria:

Is a System Center Operations Manager Reporting Server

To apply this hotfix, you must first:

1. Copy the file SystemCenterOpsMgr07-RTM-KB9356481-X86-AMD64-ENU.MSI to either a local folder or to an accessible network shared folder.

 

2. Run SystemCenterOpsMgr07-RTM-KB936481-X86-AMD64-ENU.MSI on each applicable computer that meets the predefined criteria.

 

3. On the computer where you plan to install the reporting server component, first copy Reporting2007.msi (RTM build 5000) to local writable disk; for example, the root or C:\ folder. The Reporting2007.msi file can be found in the reporting folder on the CD image. Copy the Reporting2007.msi file from either the i386 or amd64 folder, depending on which correctly matches your system architecture.

 

4. When the hotfix package is run, specify the location where the Reporting2007.msi file was placed. On the reporting server, run the VBscript file WiUseXfm.vbs with the full path to the reporting Windows Installer file as the first argument and full path to the .mst file as second argument. This can be done by opening a command prompt window and specifying for example C:\>WiUseXfm.vbs Reporting2007.msi ReportinXfm86.mst. For this example the VBscript, Windows Installer (.msi), and .mst files were placed in the C:\ directory

 

5. The Reporting2007.msi file size should have increased from 11,383 to 11,427 KB. Run this modified Reporting2007.msi which is on the local disk and installation should succeed.

 

6. NOTE: When specifying the target RMS Server it must be the Full Qualified Domain Name(FQDN) of the RMS Server for this modified version of the install to succeed.
